How hot will it be where you are? One Pierce County city could reach 106 on Sunday

Forecasts for 90-degree weather this weekend in portions of Western Washington have been surpassed, with some Pierce County locations now expecting temperatures to soar to over 100 degrees.

An excessive heat watch has been issued by the National Weather Service from 2 p.m. June 25 to 9 p.m. June 28.

The Weather Service said there will be “dangerously hot conditions” throughout that time, with an increased potential for heat-related illnesses. Temperatures at night will only dip into the 70s and 60s, not offering much relief after sundown.

Individuals should be prepared to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room whenever possible, stay out of the sun and check on those around them, the Weather Service said.
